Youth Skier Development Program

After 3 years off, the Youth Skier Development Program is back, cultivating a love of cross country skiing in the next generation. Ski development programs help children and youth develop important lifelong skills and ensure the future of the sport and the club.

For this program to be a success we need the support of club members. Please spread the word to families with children aged 4-8. If you are interested in coaching or have any questions about how to support the program please contact Nicole Hergert, Program Coordinator at [email protected]
